The answer is 2 – Venture capital is supplied by merchant and specialised commercial banks or venture capital firms. It can be complex and time-consuming to arrange – requiring presentation of an in-depth business plan with detailed financial forecasts. Most venture capitalists are only interested in loans of £50,000 plus, and some of £250,000 plus. Most expect to take a minority shareholding in the business for a set period and to appoint a non-executive director who can provide informed financial and managerial advice and contribute to major decisions.
